KYIV – Ukraine reported a record 1,197 new coronavirus cases on July 29 and a record number of hospital admissions, and the fitness government blamed the jump to wider use of public transport and participation in services.
The number of new daily infections in Ukraine has increased dramatically in the more than two months, as restrictions to involve the spread of the virus, imposed in March, have relaxed, and it has been added that by allowing the reopening of cafes, churches and public transport, a national blockade remains. was completed last week until the end of August.
Health Minister Maksym Stepanov said Thursday that 248 other people with COVID-19 had been admitted to the hospital on the last day.
“The main explanation for the increase in the number of patients in western Ukraine, especially in villages, is the devout services. These effects have been demonstrated through epidemiological investigations,” Stepanov said in a statement through the Ukrainian president’s press office.
The most important moment was public transport, as well as other people’s movement during the holiday season, he said.
Ukraine has now reported 68,794 cases of viruses since the outbreak began, adding 1,673 deaths and 38,154 more people recovering from COVID-19.
People deserve to wear a mask and adhere to social estrangement regulations in restaurants and public places, although the government said last week that it would allow individual regions to ease restrictions if necessary.
“We can impose all restrictions, we can communicate about the regulations and identify them, but they are insignificant if we don’t comply,” Stepanov said at a televised briefing. (Report through Pavel Polityuk and Natalia Zinets, edited through Shri Navaratnam and Susan Fenton)
